That is an interesting quote from Meacham, because it appears to corroborate the author's source in this article:
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/mlb...?urn=mlb,46959 Meacham states that, "It was not baiting. Those were just the easiest words to select." Passan states in his article that his source told him that Bradley told Winters not to treat him like a POS, and leaves it to us to guess the rest. Very interesting. I'm wondering who baited whom. |

Shame on me for condeming the coach who threw Winters under the bus with his lies. Shame on me for condemning the coach who never retracted his original statement and let Winters twist in the wind for two days hung by the racial accusation. Yep. Shame on me for referring to him as a lying POS rat coach, and of all places, on an umpire forum. And good for you, coach, for standing up for him.

I wonder if MLB placed a gag order on Mike Winters to avoid controversy. I'm sure they spoke to him about his comments, regardless or his suspension. No mention of a grievance being filed in his behalf. So far, all I've read are posters slamming the people that have spoken out on the incident that took place. I would be very interested to hear Winters' version.

dropped out of 1st place for first time since mid may and are 2 games out of wild card with 2 to play. better to be swept out of first round that not even make the playoffs, i'd say.

i haven't read through this whole thread and don't really have the energy to, so i apologize if this is has come up already. baiting players is not terribly uncommon. i wasn't there, and obviously can't speak for winters. however, i can take a stab at what went on. winters saw bradley throw the bat, and went and talked to the crew about it. they probably were pissed at themselves for not dumping him then, and winters then baited bradley to get him to dump himself after he should have been dumped already. no big deal, same result as what should have taken place already. bradley turned it into a big deal with his circus act and i find it very amusing that he ended up with a busted up knee for acting a fool.

There is a record of what happened...from the interviews MLB did with Winters, Bradley, the coach and the first basemen. There is absolutely no doubt that Winters baited Bradley or Winters would not have been suspended. It makes absolutely no difference to the penalty what the status of the pennant race is or, for that matter, that Bradley was hurt. There is no excuse for any umpire, let alone a professional one, to bait a player into an ejection. Winters was not accused of racism, he was found guilty of being profane and abusive. |
